Jerry has an updated Web Page http://www.jerrydouglas.com
If you put your mouse over NEWS, a cool picture of JD appears, holding Howard's New Yorker, with the Empire State Building in the background. |

Howard is dazed & distracted to be in the presence of one of the greats; Jerry is smiling, as he contemplates how to walk off with Howard's National lap steel.  steve t |
